Konami Digital Entertainment has sent out the good word that Silent Hill: Homecoming will soon be available the PC. Players can look forward to an enhanced combat system and a new soundtrack by acclaimed series composer Akira Yamaoka.
Silent Hill Homecoming marks the fifth story in the Silent Hill mythos, and introduces a new protagonist to the mysterious town. The story follows Alex Shepherd, who returns to his hometown of Shepherd’s Glen to investigate the sudden disappearance of his brother and the strange occurrences taking place around town. Shepherd unravels a tale that takes him from his boyhood home to the fog-shrouded streets of Silent Hill, as he faces the darkest horrors of his soul to find his missing brother.
Gamers with Steam accounts will be able to download Silent Hill: Homecoming in September. Visit the Konami website for more information on the Silent Hill series.
One of my favorite things about the Silent Hill series is the soundtracks that very effectually enhance the surreal atmosphere of the games. I also admire the use of psychological horror rather than reliance on cheap thrills and gross out tactics.
I swear Japs just put random words that SEEM like they should go together, and call it a title.
‘Homebound’ would make sense, ‘Homecoming’ would make sense… not this.
Opps, I misread. You shouldn’t have capitalized the word ‘Bound’. YOU TRICKED ME!!!!!!!!
I always liked silent hill a lot, hope they don’t screw it up.
Though Akira Yamaoka is left from the original “Silent Hill” developers, I’m curious how story and feel have changed in this sequel.
if that’s an actual screenshot it looks unfinished
